I had some pumpkin left over from another recipe and thought this might be a good way to use it up. I had a hankering for pancakes so I decided to try to modify a tried and true recipe to incorporate the pumpkin. My friend, Kristen, gave me her favorite oat pancake recipe (I'm not sure where her recipe originated) and they're always delicious so I thought it would make for a good starting point.
Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes
(adapted from Kristen's Oat Pancakes)
Makes about 9-12 small pancakes
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 cup oats
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in a second bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Cook on medium heat until bubbles pop and the surface looks dry. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with syrup and enjoy!
And here is the finished product. I thought they turned out quite well for a spur of the moment recipe modification. They could use a little bit more spice but otherwise they were quite tasty. A very easy recipe to pull together when you have some extra pumpkin kicking around.
What's your favorite kind of pancake?
Those look Goooooood. My fave s are oat pancakes so these are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and I will definitely be making these tomorrow morning :D
ReplyDeleteupdate: yummy! I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice or even cinnamon on hand so I think they needed a bit more flavour but I loved the texture and taste. I'm going to freeze the leftovers for a quick breakfast to grab on the way to school : )
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you tried them and liked them! I think pumpkin needs a little something to jazz it up. They're great out of the freezer.
